Saul David is Professor of War Studies at the University of Buckingham and the author of several critically-acclaimed history books,including 'The Indian Mutiny: 1857' (shortlisted for the Westminster Medal for Military Literature),'Zulu: The Heroism and Tragedy of the Zulu War of 1879.' (a Waterstone's Military History Book of the Year) and,most recently,'Victoria's Wars: The Rise of Empire'.
George Hart is the bastard son of a pillar of the British military establishment and a half Irish,half Zulu actress.
Bullied at school for his suspiciously dark skin and lack of a father,Hart soon learns to fight - and win.At eighteen,his world is shaken by his mother's revelation that his anonymous father is willing to give him a vast inheritance - provided he can prove himself worthy of the prize as an officer in the King's Dragoon Guards.
At a time when racism and prejudice are rife in Victorian society,Hart struggles to come to terms with his identity.Forced to leave the army,he decides to head to South Africa,and a fresh start.
But George Hart has soldiering in his blood,and once in Africa the urge to serve again is strong.Yet now he is caught between two fierce and unyielding forces as Britain drives towards war with the Zulus.
Hart must make a choice - and fight for his life.
Since April 2013,again in this year too, the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its prices,weight allowances, dimensions and lowered its compensation rates too!
